Wrap Night and Other Saturday Adventures

Scott and Julie's game night food theme last night was "wraps," including Asian and Spanish lettuce wraps and the pièce de résistance-- apple crepes. Bravo. They went old school with the games. We played Sorry, which was absolutely hilarious with six people trying to get in on the action. Scott won that. Also played Chinese Checkers, which Julie won. Hmm. Sounds like these games were rigged! ;)

I took Lauren to the Burger Stadium parking lot for her first behind-the-wheel driving lesson yesterday. She rocked. This morning we're doing a little neighborhood driving before church. She would love to drive to church, but there's a quarter-mile 65mph highway portion of that drive. Maybe next week (or the next).
